FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

"Nanny Knows Best" Featured In MSN's List of The Top 30 Blogs

London, 8th August 2006

KenFrost.com "The Living Brand" is proud to announce that Nanny Knows Best www.nannyknowsbest.com, the site dedicated to exposing and resisting the all pervasive nanny state that is corroding the way of life and freedom of the people of Britain, is featured in the MSN List of The Top 30 Blogs.

MSN have placed www.nannyknowsbest.com at number 13 in their list of the Top 30 Blogs. Quote:

"Daily tales from the frontline of middle England as contributors rally against the 'nanny state'.

www.nannyknowsbest.com, launched on 18th September 2004, will soon be celebrating its second birthday. In keeping with its mission to resist the nanny state, the team at www.nannyknowsbest.com will be celebrating the award by smoking, drinking and eating in excess; ie doing things that Nanny heartily disapproves of.

Funny how Nanny's ideas seem to seep into one's everyday thinking. We've just been to Corsica for a break (lovely place & people) and watched a fair bit of French TV. They're still doing "It's A Knock-Out" in France; what surprised us was that a lot of the French games involve people being chased around (and trampled on) by bulls with real horns. My instincitve reaction was "That's dangerous", so steeped am I in Nanny's ministrations.

I can't see that this would ever be allowed in the UK - the Health & Safety people would have a field day ("Where's your risk assessment?" etc).

When returning from Corsica through Gatwick on Sunday, we were immediately reminded of Nanny's concerns for us with the following public announcements:

"For Health & Safety reasons, children are not allowed to ride on the luggage trolleys"

"For Health & Safety reasons, children are not allowed beyond the blue line next to the luggage carousels"

Heary congratulations, Ken, on the fame of your site. Perhaps, one day, we shall read in the history books just how the ordinary person overcame Nanny's insidious doctrine.

Anonymous's comments remind me of the feeling I had settle on me a month ago after returning from my holiday in Spain. After feeling so relaxed and refreshed - just as the plane landed at Bristol I had that certain feeling of tenseness and gloom creeping up on me. Now this is not unusual, as one feels that the holiday has come to an end. However, I have to say this feeling was exacerbated (Ken, can we use that word, sounds a bit rude and Nanny may not approve) by the fact I was re-entering Nanny's territory, with its countless rules, regulations, red tape, and petty and mindless bureaucrats etc etc.

One bureaucrat was particularly irksome, a jobsworth immigration officer who insisted on checking every photo of every passport of every passenger, even though it was clearly a Brit plane full of white Brits (well, some were pretty red!!) coming from their holidays in the EU country of Spain.

So we Brits are all checked to the man (or women) yet it seems that Nanny hasn't got a clue how many immigrants are here, how they got in, and is also busy releasing some illegals onto our streets direct from prison!!

"In Germany they came first for the Communists,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.Then they came for the Jews,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.Then they came for the trade unionists,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.The they came for the Catholics,and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.Then they came for me,and by that time no one was left to speak up."

"The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible

reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed."
